A YACARY OF LOVE.

After the sensations of revolution
and election Honolulu has gradually
slid back to her old beaten track of
gossip. Here is a tale of this ma
ture: A dashing sailor, said to be
a deserter from the Adams, came
out from his burrow, when that
vessel went South, and, having
donned the dress of q civilian,
sought lodging with private
family. He succeeded in getting
quarters in a snug little cottage oc-
cupied by a man, his wife and
family. AS time rolled on the wife
became infatuated with the sailor
boy, who returned the affection. AS
love knows no bounds, the woman
brought suit against her husband,
for divorce. The husband in q rage,
went to a lawyer, and having stated
the case, begged the practitioner to
have the sailor arrested as q deserter
and thus Illustrate loves scheme.
The lawyer declined to take the
case, believing the sailor will be
sufficiently punished for encroach-
ing on domestic felicity, when he is
married to the woman. Alas, Cupid,
thou shouldest not shoot thine
arrows so Unfortunately.

ciaLs WHO DAN MAKE THEIR OWN
NAV

Did girls get from childhood the
same business training as boys, and
were it clearly understood in all
families that is not a credit, but dis
credit for women to be idle, to hang
helpless on the men instead OF doing
their own work, and, ii necessary,
earning their own living, | believe
society would be not the worse, but
the better, for the change, Men
would find out that the more they
elevate women the greater use they
get out OF them, II, instead Of a
man working himself to death for his
unmarried daughters and then leav-
ing them ANONYMOUSLY dependent
upon male relations, he educated
them to independence, made them
able both TO maintain and TO protect
themselves, it would save him and
them a world of unhappiness. They
would cease to be either the rivals
a very hopeless rivalry-or the play
things first and then the slaves of
men, and become, as was originally
intended, their co-mates, equal and
yet different, each sex supplying the
others deficiencies, and, therefore
fitted to work together, not apart, for
the good of the world.-[The Forum.

Callao on Sept. 10th and experienced
light airs and Gains all the way, ex-

they were very light. She carried
the S. e. trades to Lat. 80 N. Long.

NORTH PACIFIC MISSION INSTI-
TUTE.

This training school for Hawaiian
pastors and missionaries, in the pre-
misses on Punchbcwl street, formerly
occupied as the U. S. Marine Hos
pital, was recognized in October,
1877. There is in attendance an
average of from fifteen to twenty
students, who take up a four years
course OF study under the instruction
of Rev. DIR. Hyde, The session for
the present season opened last Mon
day, though some of the students
have not yet returned from their
vacation work in various vacant
parishes. Two new students have
entered and three more are expected.
The students support themselves by
manual labor mostly, and any per-
son wishing q half-day's work any
time about the house or grounds will
be helping worthy men by employing
one of these students. GIFTS OF cloth
ing for the students, or articles4of
furniture for their rooms, will always
be acceptable. Such gifts will be
called for, if desired, by ringing up
Bell Telephone No! 229. A visit to
the Institute any morning when the
training school is in session, will
prove interesting to all who are in
sympathy with the. higher education
OF ,Hawaiians.

THE WEBB CASE.

In the Supreme Court this morn
ing Mr.. j. S. Webb was arraigned
on a charge Of embezzling S54 while
in the employ of the Government.
Mr.. Webb pleaded guilty as charged
and the Court called upon Mr.. w.
Il. Castle, counsel for the defendant,
to make his argument. After quot
ing the law in regard to the punish
ment the Court could inhict, viz:
Imprisonment for one year or life or
fine not to exceed 5 times the amount
embezzled, stated that in this case
had it come to trial they were pre-
pared to prove that an agreement
had been made between defendant
and Mr.. Gibson, in which he (the
defendant) was TO have been allow
ed extra pay for services rendered.
And also that in the hurry and con-
fusion of sending the Kaimiloa to
sea, many entries as regards the
books of the department had not
been made. And again the honor
able Court in passing sentence,
should take into consideration that
Mr.. Webb voluntarily returned to
this country, knowing at the time
that there had been change
in the administration of affairs, and
that it would undoubtedly lead to
investigation into the working of the
various departments. Whereas, had
he any criminal intentions Of de-
frauding the Government, it is rea-
sonable to suppose he never would
have returned. In view of this and
other circumstances, he asked the
honorable Court to pass light SEN
tence.
The Attorney. General, G. w.
Ashford, then addressed the Court.
He said that it had been understood
between himself and counsel for de-
PENDANT, that if the defendant plead
ed guilty to the charge that he
would not urge the Court to infict
severe penalty, but he thought he
could refer to one argument brought
up by the counsel for defendant,
and still keep faith with him, and
that was in regard to extra compen-
sation promised defendant by Mr..
Gibson. BY referring to the Appro-
priation Bill, he found that the
amount appropriated for salary of
clerk in Foreign Office, (the position
Mr.. Webb held,) was $3.50 per
month, and Mr.. Gibson could not
pay more than that from the appro-
priation, without being guilty of
embezzlement himself. So he con-
sidered that part of the defense fic-
titious. Again, he thought
he might refer to another mat
ter and keep within bounds of
his promise, and that was, that dur
ing the Is months incumbency of
Mr.. Webb, he deposited with his
bankers more than $4,000, while
his salary only amounted to $3.50
for that time, still, as he had pledg-
ed his word, he should not ask
the Court to infict any particular
punishment, knowing full well that
whatever punishment it pleased the
Court to infict the ends of justice
would be subserved.
Mr.. Webb was ordered to appear
for sentence at 10 o'clock tomorrow.

NAMED BY THE TOSS OF A CENT.

1t may not be generally known
that the toss Of cent decided the
name Of the second largest city on
the Pacific Coast, and that, too, not
many years ago. II was in the sum-
mer of 1912, when immigration was
pouring into Oregon. Two of the
pioneers, A. L. Loyejoy and a man
named Overton, while en- route from
Vancouver to Oregon City stepped
ashore from their canoe Mt the point
where Portland now stands, and hav-
ing examined the topography of the
surrounding country, concluded at
once that it was most eligible posi-
ton for town site. At some time
during the ensuing winter they re-
turned and commenced at once to
clear off the land and make prepara-
tons for the erection OF log cabin.
Before they had carried out this
scheme Overton disposed of his inte
rest i'll the claim to man named
Pettygrove, who in conjunction with
Lovejoy, had the claim surveyed and
the boundaries established during
the summer of 1874. A log hut was
completed and occupied during the
next winter by an employe. In the
summer of 1916 more accurate sur
vey was made and the ground was
laid off in streets and blocks. Love-
joy wanted to name the city Boston,
in honor of the Capital of his native
State, while Pettygrove preferred
Portland, Maine, the city whence he
came. The toss of a cent decided
the question in favor of Portland
cleveland Leader.

DISEASES CONTRACTED FROM
LOWER ANIMALS"

The clover animals" as we are
pleased to call them, have way of
revenging themselves for some of the
injuries they received from the high
er animal, man. They contract dis
eases in u mild form, and commune
cate them as virulent cpidemics to
their masters. The COW has a slight
attack of scarlatina-so slight that it
hardly causes her inconvenience
and a deadly infection breaks out
among those who drink of her milk.
From u report which has just been
compiled by DIR. George Turner for
the Local Government Board it APP
pears that diptheria may be one Of
the diseases which we catch from
animals. Pigeons suffer from Group,
horses and swine from "strangles,"
lambs from sore throat, all which
affections, DR.. Turner thinks, may
develop into diptheria in human
beings. The worst offender is the
domestic cat, which is very liable to
suffer from cold in the head and
chest, and to pass it on in much
worse form to children.-[St. James
